PHP Composer does not clone symfony/assetic-bundle properly - php

I am trying to install Symfony on CentOS Linux wih PHP 5.6 and cPanel installed.
When I run composer require symfony/assetic-bundle , once adding bundle to the AppKernelphp, symfony (app/console too) stops working and keeps logging this error:
[10-Jun-2016 22:00:57 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Class 'Symfony\Bundle\AsseticBundle\AsseticBundle' not found in /home/avid24/public_html/app/AppKernel.php on line 19
After checking the vendor directory, turns out that composer has downloaded a single compressed file with a random name, I could extract it with unzip. but problem still exists!
This environment works properly on windows and I could easily update symfony and its components using composer.
Any help? Anyone with the same experience ?

Well, I eventually figured out the problem!
I enabled suhosin extension which prevents the composer and other similar command prompt php scripts from a proper execution.
As a temporary solution I copied php.ini and disabled unnecessary extensions and put it next to my project and call composer this way
$php -c ../composer-php.ini ~/composer ......
I'll create a script to make the life easier
I didn't find any resource which describes coexistence of composer and suhosin extension, so I'm not sure if this is the ultimate solution but the root cause is identified.
If anybody makes workaround this subject I'd be more than happy to know about it.

installing cakephp 3 manually, without composer

I need to install CakePHP 3 in an old-fashioned upload-unzip-run way.
The archive I've downloaded from cakephp/cakephp/tags does not contain the default folders like webroot, Model etc., which means it's not complete.
The official documentation does not cover this. Here's a relevant Github issue I found, but the person ends up still using Composer.
There's also cakephp/app and it seems to include those missing files, but it's not mentioned in cakephp/cakephp's composer.json, and even if I download it I've no idea how to merge the packages.
Packaged app (cakephp/app) releases that include all dependencies (framework (cakephp/cakephp), standard CakePHP plugins (cakephp/debugkit, cakephp/bake, etc), required third party libraries) can be found on GitHub.
https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/releases
It's the download with the small package symbol, named like cake-3-x-x.zip.
However, it isn't a good idea to ditch the dependency manager, as keeping the code base and the autoloader up to date will be rather tedious, and, no offense, I have my doubts that you'll be able to handle this properly if you don't even know how to stitch the app and cake packages together.
You can install CakePhp 3 without Composer.
You need minimum requirements to install CakePhp 3 and CakePhp 3 boilerplate ( fresh copy of Cakephp 3 ).
You can download CakePhp 3 boilerplate from github.
Requirements
Server
HTTP Server. For example: Apache. Having mod_rewrite is preferred,but by no means required.
PHP 5.4.16 or greater.
mbstring extension
intl extension
Database :
MySQL (5.1.10 or greater)
PostgreSQL
Microsoft SQL Server (2008 or higher)
SQLite 3
All built-in drivers require PDO. You should make sure you have the correct PDO extensions installed.
CakePhp 3 Boilerplate:
Repository Home
https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/releases
CakePhp 3.1.4
https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/releases/download/3.1.4/cakephp-3-1-4.zip
CakePhp 3.0.15
https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/releases/download/3.0.15/cakephp-3-0-15.zip
Download one repository and unzip where you wanted to install it.
You may get one error like ( you may not get error if you are lucky!)
Fatal Error
Cake\Error\FatalErrorException
Error: Class 'Cake\Mailer\Email' not found
File D:\xampp\htdocs\practice\cakephp\cakephp-3-1-4\config\bootstrap.php
Line: 138
Then you have to comment two line in config/bootstrap.php
//Email::configTransport(Configure::consume('EmailTransport'));
//Email::config(Configure::consume('Email'));
And finally you got CakePhp 3 installed.
[I am also new in CakePhp 3.So Please inform me if there are any wrong in my given process.]
Thanks
Use Composer.
Install Composer locally, follow the Cake installation instructions, then upload the created folders to the target webhost.
Easy, For CakePHP 3.x you can just download the release you want from here
https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/releases (eg. https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/releases/tag/3.3.16).
For a complete installation select the first download link (.zip)
the other links are just for the src
Just run this command to get a clone of CakePHP 3.10.0
git clone -b 3.x git://github.com/cakephp/cakephp.git
Try simple steps
1. Download XAMPP Server.
2. Install XAMPP server.
3. Go to ..\xampp\php\php.ini and open.
4. Add this line (extension=php_intl.dll) or if exist uncomment.
5. Download Composer setup from https://github.com/composer/windows-setup/releases/
6. Install composer and give php.exe file in path
7. Open cmd and check now php version using command php -v. if its showing php version its means its working.
8. Now open cmd and cd on xampp\htdocs folder & run command composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app app_name
9. Finished folder created in htdocs.

Problems installing laravel with composer [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH?
(22 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
Problem: I'm wanting to explore laravel 5, and failing miserably at installing it. I'm using this guide: http://laravel.com/docs/5.0 and need someone to help me understand the instructions.
Background and What I've Tried
I'm running Mac OSX 10.10.2 (Yosemite) and MAMP.
So far, I've downloaded Composer to my home folder using terminal. There is just a composer.phar file sitting there.
When I run:
composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
I get the message:
Changed current directory to /Users/MYUSERNAME/.composer
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files
I assume that is ok because when I run the following in terminal, I get the composer logo and a list of options
~ MYUSERNAME$ composer
I'm not 100% sure what the following means, from the Laravel Docs:
"Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH so the
laravel executable can be located by your system."
Because I can't figure it out, the following steps throw errors, such as:
-bash: laravel: command not found
I've been going through a few forums, and it's suggested that I need to update my PHP.ini file - this seems more related to Composer install, and not specifically Laravel. Because composer is working, this seems to be a dead end.
Ideally, I want to install Laravel 5 to the directory
HomeFolder/sites/test
because Composer.phar is in my home folder, I think the command should be:
php composer laravel new sites/test
or just
composer laravel new sites/test
As mentioned, it just (correctly) throws errors.
Question:
If anyone can help solve my total user error, by explaining what "Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH so the laravel executable can be located by your system." means to a n00b, that'd be really appreciated.
Many thanks!
Laravel is a PHP framework (makes writing PHP applications easy)
Composer is a PHP package and dependency manager. (makes installing and updating third party code libraries easy)
When you run
$ composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
You're using composer to install the laravel/installer=~1.1 package into composer's "global" project folder (usually ~/.composer). This is what installed the command line program named laravel.
The command line program named laravel is a shell script for installing the PHP framework (Also named Laravel).
Your "Unix Path" is a list of folders where a command line script will search for an executable. Usually is has folders like /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, etc. This is why when you run ls, you're actually running /usr/bin/ls -- the shell knows to check each folder in the path for a location. You can view your current path by typing
$ echo $PATH
So, the problem is composer installed the laravel command line program to a folder that's not in your unix path. You need to add this folder to your unix path. You can do this by running the following (assuming you're using bash, which is OS X's default shell)
$ PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin
If you run that, you should be able to run the laravel command line program and continue your installation.
Most people add this to their .bash_profile or .bashrc files. The Unix Stack Exchange has a lot of good information if you're interested in learning how to do this.
You can add the directory to the PATH variable by editing /etc/paths.
Here's a tutorial on how to do that.
Just add a line with:
~/.composer/vendor/bin
Then the laravel new command should work fine
If everything fails you can still use the composer create-project command to make a new laravel instance:
composer create-project laravel/laravel sites/test --prefer-dist
I added C:\Users\Leon\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin instead of ~/.composer/vendor/bin to the Path variable.
Here is instructions on changing the path variable on Windows 10:

phpunit run problems in phpstorm, Cannot create phar

I am running phpStorm 7.1.3 version on Windows 7 and I have done everything accordingly to install composer and then phpunit. Now I have it in vendors directory. But every time I run my program which is a simple Yii application I get the same error.
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'UnexpectedValueException' with
message 'Cannot create phar
'C:/wamp/www/myproject/vendor/bin/phpunit', file extension (or
combination) not recognised or the directory does not exist' in
C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Local\Temp\ide-phpunit.php:177
Please help, I am stuck here already two days and cant get this working, almost changed and reinstalled everything but is not helping.
I didn't use pear, I downloaded everything through the phpStorm. I downloaded composer, and after that through phpStorm composer I downloaded phpUnit 3.7.37.
Here is the screenshot of my settings for composer
Here is the content of my composer.json
{
"require": {
"phpunit/phpunit": "3.7.37"
}
}
Here is the screenshot of my settings for PHPunit
On your 2nd screenshot (PHPUnit settings):
Why did you choose PHAR option if you are using COMPOSER?
Why did you point to .../bin/phpunit (even if you choose 3rd option .. you should point it to a PHAR file then)?
Therefore:
For composer installations you should use 2nd ("Use custom loader") option.
The edit box -- you should point it to your autoloader script (yes -- composer autoloader script).

If you are not using composer, but the 'Path to phpunit.phar' option and still receive this error, just make sure the path you specify ends with a .phar (usually ends with phpunit.phar) I was seeing this same error but because I had the path pointing to my command-line alias, not the actual .phar file, it gets hung up on the improper extension and bails.
I was trying to run phpUnit on zend framework 1.12.9 and had the same problem - solved it by changing path to phpunit.phar to use custom loader.
Then You have to point it to the generated autoload.php by composer.
In my case that was
C:\wamp\www\phpu3\vendor\autoload.php
Later, the important thing to do was to point the bootstrap file from tests.
When you download the phpunit.phar file using the wget command, following the instruction on the getting started manual -
https://phpunit.de/getting-started/phpunit-4.html
the "phar" extension is being removed, and PHPSTORM has issues to interrupt this file. I've changed the extension:
mv phpunit phpunit.phar
make sure you update the path to phpunit.phar file in the IDE setting accordingly

Using Composer PHP on Shared Space

I'm using Bluehost and do have access to SSH, thankfully. I've also set my PHP to 5.4 in the Control Panel settings. Now, here's the two big questions that I can't seem to grasp: how do I install Composer and furthermore, after installing Composer, how do I get the dependencies included?
In this case, I am attempting to use the official Tumblr PHP Library, which has dependencies -- all of which can be found on Packagist.
I've referred to this question in which the OP is using HostGator. I have attempted to install Composer in a similar fashion and have done so with seemingly successful results. The issue, however, is that I don't know where to install it on Bluehost so I now have Composer installed in several random places on the server simply because I don't know how to navigate to find where to put it in this shared space.
I know this is the issue (i.e. it's installed in the wrong place) because when I use the composer phar files and syntax to install the packages, I get errors saying the commands don't exist.
I really hate asking for hand-holding assistance, but if someone could walk me through the proper installation of Composer on a shared space and the proper installation of a Composer package from Packagist on the same shared space, it would be much appreciated. I've dug through the Composer documentation and can't seem to find a proper guide -- if one can even exist -- for this case. At this point, I'm wondering if it's going to be different for every web host.
Once you install composer as mentioned by KLVTZ. In the bluehost environment, use the php-cli instead of php.
php-cli composer.phar install
When installing composer, the biggest problem I ran into was that Bluehost's command line php was 5.2 and composer needs 5.3+.
Fortunately, Bluehost does give you access to 5.4. You can find it at
/ramdisk/php/54/bin/php54-cli
I ended up setting up an alias to call composer.phar using the above php command and it's worked great. You can see more details on how to install composer on bluehost.
You should probably not use Composer on the remote host, but instead install it on the local machine that is used to upload your project to Bluehost. There you can manage all the stuff that is needed to fetch the dependencies, which might include having the ZIP extension enabled or having a ZIP program available, having GIT or Mercurial installed if you have to grab a version from a branch, and so on.
All these dependencies of using Composer might not be available on that remote host, and frankly: You really do not want to install these development tools on a production machine anyway, I think. Any software that potentially helps an attacker shouldn't be present if it can be avoided.
The issue, however, is that I don't know where to install it on Bluehost...
In order to fix this problem, you need to figure out where exactly your project folder is. Composer needs to be installed in that folder. If you have access to a UNIX shell, I recommend that you change your directory to that project folder
cd $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']/project_folder/
Generally, your remote server will follow the same file directory tree as that on your local machine. However, if you are unsure as to how your file structure may be organized, you can always print working directory of your local machine:
pwd
After you have successfully located the correct file path on your shared space, simply install composer:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
This will report back something like:
All settings correct for using Composer
Downloading...
Composer successfully installed to: /var/www/my_project/composer.phar
Use it: php composer.phar
You now have access to your composer.phar in your project. Let me know if you need any further help.
One problem on Bluehost is that the php command on Bluehost does not execute php-cli. So I "bypass" that by having my own php script earlier in the PATH and then forwarding the arguments to php-cli. In the same process I made script named composer which calls php-cli composer.phar directly.
So, this setup has worked for me on Bluehost:
In ~/bin I have the composer.phar and two bash scripts called php and composer. In ~/.bash_profile I have prepended ~/bin to my PATH.
~/bin/php looks as follows:
#!/bin/bash
php-cli "$#"
~/bin/composerlooks as follows:
#!/bin/bash
php-cli ~/bin/composer.phar "$#"
And the additions to ~/.bash_profile are these:
PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin
export PATH
(I have also added ~/.composer/vendor/bin as can be seen, this is handy for global access for some composed applications (for me that is laravel)).
Remember to source ~/.bash_profile. (Or reconnect)
I think you should do something like this.
In console
echo $PATH
Use one of these pathes
mv composer.phar {selected path}/composer
chmod +x {selected path}/composer
Now you can simply call composer everywhere
If you have composer installed in your root directory (under public_html), might be something related to PHP version. As Bluehost when chosing PHP version "Be aware that this only modifies your ~/public_html/php.ini file. If you choose to use PHP 5.4, you'll want to make sure your crons use "/usr/php/54/usr/bin/php" instead, as otherwise it will use PHP 5.2."
So you can try with the command
/usr/php/54/usr/bin/php-cli composer.phar install

Not able to run composer.phar

Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP projects. It allows you to declare the dependent libraries your project needs and it will install them in your project for you. Composer is not a package manager.
I told this to declare my meaning from Composer. Recently I have tried to run my first Google API project. There is a quickStart witch tells I need to use Composer. So I tried to run composer using php composer.phar install, but the only output I got was some question marks ???????, and no dependencies where fetched. I haven't noticed anything special about composer itself, it seems that there must be something with .phar files that I don't know. Is there anything special in the architecture of phar files? What should I do?
I googled a lot, but there was nobody having the same problem as mine.
The issue you describe sounds like you have detect_unicode enabled in your php.ini. You should disable it because it really is of no use and creates problems with phars.
By the way using the composer installer would do a check of settings and warn you about such problems.
php -d detect_unicode=Off composer.phar install
fixed it on MacOS X, it seems to reset my php.ini every now and then
Coming pretty late to this question, but I'd like to add that you can always run this command to verify php is configured correctly for Composer
curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --check
That will let you know if anything needs to be amended. If you get a blank output from Composer, that's the first place to go for help.
